The tireless James Milner exceeds expectations in the Champions League

Who is leading the Champions League assists charts ? Leo Messi ? No. Neymar ? No. Kévin de Bruyne ? No. Leroy Sané ? No. The top assist provider in this current campaign is a player who took part in the Toulon Tournament 2005 : James Milner.

The 32-year-old helped Liverpool to earn a stunning 5-0 win over Porto on this Wednesday and took his tally to 7 assists in the Champions League.

This is a fantastic performance, especially when we know that Milner isn’t a regular starter (only 3 European games started this season) and that he’s often used as a box-to-box midfielder.

Loved by the Reds fans for his versatility and his work-rate, the England international (61 caps, 1 goal) will be under the spotlight in the upcoming weeks thanks to his incredible statistics.
